Actually I enjoy reading about the market. I must admit though that the prospect of using that knowledge is part of what excites me so there was a little disappointment for me realising how much extra effort would be required to get something that works in the declining market.

I really do believe newspapers affect the market and is one of the reasons that the less knowledgable (mom & pop investors) have left the market.

Hi PeterM,
